I replaced both my mounts with real maple and epoxy and no more broken mounts. I recently pulled the screws right out of the mount on a botched cross wind landing. plugged the holes with hardwood dowel and remounted. Back to flying again. Grass fields also are rough on gear and mounts. But you are right about the inserts they really help keep the tires from rolling over and causing nose overs. I bought a roll of the foam caulking backer from the Depot for my wheels, same stuff Robart sells but alot cheaper.
